  • Patent number: 6186441
    Abstract: In an aiming or sighting device and an aiming method for determining the impact point of a ballistic flying body such as a rocket or a tube weapon projectile, specific characteristic values of the ballistic flying body are stored in a memory and an evaluating stage produces control signals in response to the specific characteristic values and in response to actual supplied system parameters. The control signals are transmitted to a display and to an adjustment drive. A model of the trajectory of the ballistic flying body is produced on the basis of all respective possible actual system parameters in an evaluating stage, whereby the trajectory is subdivided into at least two phases, each with a respective submodel. The submodel of the first phase is thereby a model with three or six degrees of freedom and the submodel of the second phase is a model with three degrees of freedom. An input unit permits adjusting the mode of operation and the correction of the impact location.

  • Patent number: 6040854
    Abstract: The invention provides an electro-optical process and apparatus for the static harmonization of aircraft having onboard systems which are to be measured with respect to one another and on the fuselage axis. Adapters are arranged at preset measuring points on the aircraft, each of which accommodates a video camera which generates an external environment as a reference. The actual arming axes of an onboard systems which are measured are displayed against the external environment, based on the system coordinates of the aircraft.
